Moon
Children's Song
(Japanese)
Children's Song
(English)
Rising, rising is the moon,
Large & round, large & round, round round one,
Plate-like full moon will rise soon.
Hiding, hiding is the moon,
Behind the clouds, dark clouds, black black clouds,
Plate-like full moon will hide soon.
Appearing, reappearing is the moon,
Large & round, large & round, round round one,
Plate-like full moon will rise soon.

Tsuki (Moon)
Deta deta tsuki ga
Marui marui manmarui
bon no you na tsuki ga
Kakureta kumo ni,
kuroi kuroi makkuroi,
sumi no you na kumo ni.
Mata deta tsuki ga,
marui marui manmarui,
bon no you na tsuki ga.

Here's the computerized text: (we apologize if it doesn't display properly on your screen):
つき
でたでた つきが
まるいまるい まんまるい
ぼんのような つきが
かくれた くもに
くろいくろい まっくろい
すみのような くもに
またでた つきが
まるいまるい まんまるい
ぼんのような つきが
Many thanks to the Embassy of Japan, for contributing this song, the English translation, the illustration and sheet music.
I'm very grateful to Susan Pomerantz for playing this tune on piano.
